The finalists are now confirmed, with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal set to compete after both teams navigated through intense semi-final matches.
PSG claimed their spot after a thrilling 1-1 draw with FC Bayern Munich, achieving a 6-5 aggregate win in what became one of the highest-scoring semi-final ties in Champions League history.
Simultaneously, Arsenal secured their return to the final by defeating Atlético Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium on May 5, 2026, progressing with a 2-1 aggregate score. This marks Arsenal’s first Champions League final appearance in two decades and only the second in the club’s lengthy history.
The launch of the Budapest 26 jersey has already generated various opinions among supporters online. Many fans appreciated the color scheme and contemporary style, while others expressed dissatisfaction, arguing that the design felt rushed or overly influenced by sponsorship branding.
Regardless of the mixed feedback, the unveiling has heightened excitement for the forthcoming match between PSG and Arsenal as both clubs gear up for a significant event in European football.
